Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 63
पंचरात्रमतिक्रांतं तृप्तास्तास्तापसप्रियाः । न राज्ञी तृप्तिमायाति प्रयच्छंती प्रभक्तितः
paṃcarātramatikrāṃtaṃ tṛptāstāstāpasapriyāḥ | na rājñī tṛptimāyāti prayacchaṃtī prabhaktitaḥ
पाच रात्री उलटल्यावर त्या तपस्विनी तृप्त झाल्या; पण राणी गाढ भक्तीने देत राहूनही तृप्त झाली नाही।
Narrator (specific speaker not in snippet)
